First of all, I am not opposed to a move to TLP.

I think the TLP will be a good move for Velocity, raising its profile

from me.
"It will get better when..." doesn't work very well is my experience. If development isn't moving,
it isn't going to move very fast either when TLP. It will raise the profile a bit, but I think a
release is really raising the profile and at least will give you some idea how things will be when
there is some new press around velocity. Will it indeed attract new people ?
For a proposal like this to succeed, the proposal is I think lacking some
important information :
- Are there any concrete plans for the future direction for Velocity ?
- Are external velocity projects currently actually interested in a move to apache ? (don't if that
is an argument though, since the Umbrella type projects is currently not really high on the boards
wishlist, if I understand correctly)
- Since Velocity is considered mature, what is going to happen if Velocity is going to live on it's
own, if in the end no projects decide to come to the velocity project ?
- What problems is Jakarta giving you ? The current reasons described aren't really good reasons,
since (afaik) you never ran into any issues (no one is holding you back to release, no requests were
being made to add an external velocity project through the incubator)
- You just got a lot of potential new committers, with opening up jakarta svn access. Did that spark
any new interest ?
Just a few thoughts to consider with a proposal :)
Mvgr,
Martin
